Dave. I too have a Kiron 105mm F2.8 (Lester A. Dine Wunderlens) which is great & also a 70-210mm F4 with zoom lock...looking to add to my Kiron collection. ...
So now we've all gotten to see a Konica F with normal lens and recently a 85 1.8 for the F, here is the 135 2.8 for the Konica F stealthily hiding on a Konica...
Hi Philip, You're right Philip. Besides the aperture lever on the side near the base/bayonet mount, another giveaway is the lens cap that says "Hexanon"...
Hi, I've been lurking here for 2 or 3 weeks, having discovered that there is a Konica List from a posting on the Rollei Users Group (Philip, I think). I've...
Hi all, lately, I've had some strange results with my T2, when I took it to a short holiday trip. The first half of the first film, done before the trip, is...
Hi all, last autumn, I shot 3 or 4 rolls of film with extensive use of a polarizer (linear type). While the shots without it seem to be o.k., the shots with ...
Hi Andreas, No, I've never noticed any tendency toward a problem with polarizers of any type on various Konica (personally, I prefer the image results with a...
Hi and welcome PK, Interesting results you are getting with 135/3.5 and 135/3.2 Hexanons! I would estimate that the majority who have compared them closely...
This discusssion brings me to ask a question, Which lenses will work on my T3 & which will not...I'm bidding on a lens on ebay right now & this discussion got...
Interesting...one wonders if the focusing screen could be loose. I am not familiar enough with the details of how it is installed in the camera to know if this...
Hi Scott, There are relatively few of the really early Hexanons around, so you are generally safe assuming the lens will fit. Basically, there are two bayonet...
Scott, You'll find any lens that is K/AR mount will work on your T3. That is the mount type on all the Konica SLR's from the Auto-Reflex up to the TC-X. Don't...
Sebastian, One possibility (actually the only one I can think of right now) is that the lens is not seated properly in the mount, in which case the aperture ...
Thanks for the info, Alan! As I mentioned, I never did any REAL comparisons, it was just an impression I had, and put the 3.2 away. I doubt there's anything...
... Steve, I think you covered it well. My bet is the mirror got locked up for some reason. Perhaps something got into the area of the arms and blocked its...
... I've known Greg Weber since the ... Oy, don't remind me! How are ya Paul? It's been a while. When I saw your name come up in my mail-box heading, I knew it...
This has me scratching my head, too. I have had no problems with either type with Konica mechanical or electronic bodies. Beam splitters are the problem that ...
I've seen them slip through eBay for wide ranging prices.... I recall one going for about $50 in the last year and some for $200+. I noticed this week that a...
I was using my 2.5 this weekend with good results. I should use it more often. Here's one from my son's ski race on Sunday....It's about 1/3 of the frame and...
Nice shot, Craig. I see you're getting around a bit better these days despite having snow up to your elbows. Did you use a tripod for this one? What film? Jon ...
... It has just struck me to ask exactly where was this trip to? Was it cold outside where you were? If so, possibly the mirror actuator arms may have gotten ...
It's Kodak HD. I bought a few rolls some time ago and hadn't yet tried it on anything. I've been doing so much black and white with some chemistry experiments...
I have a 28-210 Kiron for Konica. It's a really good lens for that much of a range differential. I have two 28-105's, which I believe to be a little sharper...
... Must have been really impressive! Mine has no means whatsoever of connecting a flash. Couldn't even set off a powder on a handboard and expect it to...
Hi everyone I've just bought a TC-X for about $10.00 and guess what... the meter doesn't work! Otherwise, it is in excellent condition with good light seals...
Hi all, I was contacted directly by the photo shop listed below and asked to pass along a list of some Konica and third party for Konica items they have to...
Tim, I'll get shot for saying this but................ As I'm not a fan of the 40/1.8 & you want to go light >>> how about a 50/1.8? It's smaller/lighter than...
